The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is committed to improving safety and quality of care in the Nation’s Nursing Homes. Nursing home staffing has been known as a critical factor for improving care for nursing home residents for many years. However, there have been challenges with nursing homes’ ability to obtain enough nursing staff to meet each resident’s needs. The Nursing Home Staffing (NHS) Campaign project is aimed at increasing the availability of nurses (e.g., registered nurses (RNs) to work in the nursing home environment, such as in qualifying nursing homes or in an oversight capacity for a state inspection agency. Through this project, CMS will award multiple cooperative agreements to entities to who will in turn, administer financial incentives, such as tuition reimbursement and stipends to RNs who will then work in a qualifying nursing home or state survey agency for three years.
